You don't need to reconfigure to have squidguard reread it's
configuration. A "squid -k rotate" is sufficient.

If you build access controls using an external database such as LDAP
etc then you will not need to ever reconfigure Squid due to access
control changes.

Good idea to limit the "squid -k reconfigure" calls.
